The next day, early in the morning,

Di Yunli's realm has stabilized and his mood has calmed down.

She opened the door and found several people standing outside.

Ji Lingran, Liu Wuyang, Nanhe, Xiao Bailian, Bailixian, Wuzhi. Also, the companion spirit beast of the deceased Dean Xiang, the Purple Thunder Lion.

Seeing this scene, Di Yunli felt warm in her heart. Although she had made many enemies during this trip, she now had teammates who were trustworthy and a teacher who would always side with her.

"You're awake." Ji Lingran walked over.

"woke up."

Nan He sighed, "How is it? Are you feeling better?"

"It's okay, teacher." Di Yunli looked at Liu Wuyang being punished to squat in horse stance, then looked at Nanhe's expression, smiled slyly and said, "Teacher knows everything?"

"I know." Nan He couldn't help getting angry when he mentioned this. "Look at you, look at you guys, ah, you are too bold. Dean Xiang is a master of the ninth level of spiritual enlightenment, and is about to break through to the spiritual master."

"How dare you guys attack him without informing me in advance? What if you..."

"Teacher." Di Yunli blinked, "Yunli knows she was wrong."

Nan He was so angry that he said half of his words. After looking at Di Yunli's starry eyes, he couldn't get angry at all.

"Anyway, don't do such risky things next time."

"is teacher."

Nanhe changed the subject and pulled Di Yunli aside. "Yunli, how did you manage to make the Purple Thunder Lion betray its master and kill him at the critical moment?"

"Hasn't the teacher already made some considerations in his mind?"

Nanhe raised his eyebrows slightly, but said nothing. He heard from Liu Wuyang and the others that it was Emperor Yunli who used the Beast Taming Bell at the critical moment, which caused the Purple Thunder Lion to betray its master.

But they didn't know that Nanhe had noticed some clues.

Although this beast-controlling bell is an extremely rare and top-grade magic weapon, it does have the ability to control spirit beasts and make them turn against you temporarily. But it definitely cannot make the companion spirit beast survive after the death of its master.

In addition, when Di Yunli broke into the sixth floor of the Demon Sealing Tower and allowed the Immortal Ant King to be controlled by him, Nanhe already had some vague guesses.

Now, with all these things in mind, this guess has been firmly confirmed in his mind.

"Okay, okay." Nanhe did not say it clearly. With this beastmaster's trump card, Nanhe was very relieved that Di Yunli would venture into the world of immortal cultivation in the future. "It is a great honor for me to have such a precious disciple like you in my lifetime."

"Yunli is lucky to have a teacher like you who cares so much about me." The master and disciple smiled at each other.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Nanhe's anger had subsided.

The scene of them all being happy in the sunshine and in the courtyard is really heartwarming.

"Alright Yunli, you figure out how to solve this trouble with the Purple Thunder Lion. The decisive battle will begin in half an hour. I have to go back first, so you guys should get ready as well."

"Yes." Everyone saluted and watched Nanhe leave.

As for the Purple Thunder Lion, Emperor Yunli could have killed it directly at that time, or let it return to the mountains and land.

It would be a pity to kill him, and releasing him would easily cause some unnecessary trouble. At the moment, she always felt that there was an undercurrent between the four countries and the four major courtyards, so it would be better to keep the Purple Thunder Lion for her own use.

"Wuzhi."

"Master." Wu Zhi came over and bowed obediently, not daring to overstep the line in the slightest.

"Although your leeches are strange and bloodthirsty, they are suitable for large-scale attacks. However, they cannot fly, which is not conducive to high-altitude combat."

"From today on, the Purple Thunder Lion will be granted to you as your mount."

Wu Zhi's eyes widened in disbelief, "Master, this..."

The Purple Thunder Lion was a divine beast, and even a divine beast at the Spiritual Acupoint Stage. How could such a big bargain fall on him?

"Of course I'm not giving it to you for free. From today on, you will take the Purple Thunder Lion and this token back to Beili Capital to find the Imperial Master. By then, you will naturally know what you should do."

"Yes!"

"I want to remind you that if you have any evil thoughts, even if you are thousands of miles away, your soul and blood are in my body, and your life or death depends on my thoughts."

"Yes, master." At this moment, Wu Zhi no longer dared to have the slightest thought of rebellion.

Not to mention his battle with Di Yunli, Di Yunli did teach him a painful lesson. The fact that Di Yunli dared to hunt down Dean Xiang and actually succeeded was enough to completely convince him.

In addition, no matter which of these two incidents he was involved in, he had already become a sinner of Xicang and could no longer go back.

Therefore, he had no reason to rebel, nor any thoughts.

Di Yunli came to the purple thunder lion and touched its big head.

Zi Lei Shi had no intention of resisting. Instead, he enjoyed it very much and even nudged her hand like a spoiled child.

"Go."

No one knew what Di Yunli had told the Purple Thunder Lion. But Wu Zhi knew that if he had not rebelled, the Purple Thunder Lion would be his great opportunity. If he had the intention to rebel one day, he would probably end up like Dean Xiang.

"Master, then Purple Thunder Lion and I will take our leave first."

"Ah."

After Wu Zhi left, Di Yunli finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had solved another problem, and he felt a little relieved.

Ji Lingran walked towards Di Yunli, "Today's final, four to two, it's you and me."

Di Yunli didn't feel any surprise. "Except for us, no one would want to see Imperial Capital College occupy two of the top three places in this four-college competition."

"After all, it involves the chance for each academy to enter the Immortal Tomb, which creates a conflict of interest. Nanlin College and Henggu College don't want to, and Canghai College is even more unwilling."

"And..." Di Yunli did not continue speaking, and said: "I am afraid that the battle between you and me today was arranged by everyone."

Ji Lingran raised his head slightly, "Whether it's a deliberate arrangement or a coincidence, you and I will have to fight."

Even though she had joined the Emperor Guards, even though she had begun to submit to Di Yunli from the bottom of her heart, a battle with Di Yunli was something she had been looking forward to since she first met Di Yunli.

At first, she wanted to defeat Di Yunli in this battle and escape her fate. Now, she wanted to see Di Yunli's strength in person. Even if she lost, it didn't matter.

"A fight between you and me is naturally inevitable, but no matter who wins or loses today, we will secure the top three spots."

"Are you sure?"

After the top four are eliminated, the two winners will compete in the final battle to decide the champion.

After the first and second place are decided, the two who failed in the top four will have another match to decide the third place. What Di Yunli wants is the first and third place.

It doesn’t matter whether Canghai College is second or Henggu College is second, it won’t have much impact.

"Don't worry, you are the only one of your peers who can beat me right now." When Ji Lingran said this, his eyes were still as confident as ever.

"Oh? Is it because the army's morale has been shaken before the battle even begins?"

Ji Lingran lowered his head and smiled, "I just find it easier to face reality. If I can beat you, I can beat you. If I can't beat you, I can't beat you. I, Ji Lingran, can afford to lose."

"But if we fight, I will do my best. If I hurt you..."

"No problem, that's a competition field, there's no distinction between king and subject."

The two looked at each other and smiled, with mutual appreciation in their eyes.
